Holiday in the Sun

I thought this movie was pretty bad as a whole. It just didn't have a plot and the girls acted like total snobs. You'd think they'd be a little more realistic being real teens! They only wore one outfit twice, and they looked like models straight off the runway at the very beginning during the school scene. People would get made fun of if they really wore that stuff to school! They just acted so shallow, and the only way it would have been entertaining is if the point of the movie was that they were supposed to be snobs and exaggerating it too much. I used to enjoy their movies and shows, but this one just had no plot whatsoever. Also, it was kind of strange how the parents never punished the kids for anything they did! Since So Little Time started, the twins have just lost touch with reality.

For an Olsen twins movie it was decent. I grew up watching this one a lot. It starts with the girls getting on their dad's private plane and complaining about going to the Bahamas because they wanted to go to Hawaii. Thankfully they aren't that snooty the whole time and in the Bahamas we get more of the fun Mary Kate and Ashley fashion I was used to in their other movies.

However there are quite a few plot holes and it feels like every other scene is a montage. The last 30 minutes feels like a completely different movie with an entirely new plot.

The fake behind the scenes shots at the end were a fun, silly touch.

I was really disappointed with this movie. I usually really like mary-kate and ashley movies. They're not always very beliveable and they can be a little cheesy at times but they're always really enjoyable and a lot of fun. It wasn't so much the writing that bugged me, though the story did seem to go by without a lot of explaing or detail. It was the filming. This movie had to have the worst filming I've EVER seen. The shots were so weird sometimes and there was A LOT of close ups. One of the things that bugged me was that half of the film felt like you were watching a home movie that was taped by a five year old. Sometimes it looks like a movie and others it looks like it was filmed on a home video camera and the shots aren't very steady. I also thought that the way they ended it was weird.

This movie is singlehandedly one of the worst films I have ever seen in my entire life. I'm 15 years old and it embarrasses me that there are people my age who actually enjoy this garbage, it gives reasonably mature and intelligent teenagers a bad name. Not only is this film staunchy, pretencious, wasteful, and incredibly egocentric, it actually cost me a few brain cells that unfortunately withered away while watching it. Overall, the filmmakers of this movie are trying extremely hard to make it art-house, (the camera use, etc) but all they end up doing is making fools of themselves and tripping all over this film. And shame on them for using the title of one of the best and most important Sex Pistols songs in this demeening manner!

Ah, yes. Another Olsen twin movie. Their movies do usually follow the same plot. They travel somewhere cool, meet "cute" guys (who i think are ugly), and have a problem. This movie was good, i guess, but a typical Mary-Kate and Ashley film. I guess it's acceptable, but the Olsen twins are just a tad bit over rated and I hope that their next film is just a little unique, or at least with special guests or something.
